Extra long net curtains - anyone know where I can get some please ?

Options
a long shot but I've tried all the shops local to me without success...

I need patterned net curtains for large bay windows that have a 94" drop.
The only stuff I can find is plain voile and that's not suitable.

Does anyone know of anywhere I can get something around this length please?

thanks in advance

    Are you anywhere near a Dunelm Mills shop?

    If you are in the Midlands -

    Leicester Market have a good net curtain stall.
    Also a number of stalls at Birmingham - in and around the main market site.

    Thanks SUzy M !
    However I've tried the market stalls in Birmingham and been to Dunelm Mill with no success :-(
    I'm hoping someone knew of an internet site or something similar

    Ours came from Ikea and were a bargain at £2.94 per panel!
    Thanks for the advice Martin! :money:

    Hello Rita
    I'm in a similar situation, in my living room I have a large patio door, and I need long curtains.
    When I searched MSE I hoped to find an answer, but I will let you know how I get on.

    So far I tried IKEA, but found the quality of the panel curtains very poor, the material was frayed on some, or the decorations were peeling off on others, would not recommend.

    I found these sites, cannot comment as I've never used them. (you'll find that most do either 90 or 108 in drop and nothing in between)

    cheapcurtains.co.uk

    Littlewoods do long curtains as well, and you can also get good discount codes on this forum )

    terrysfabrics.co.uk

    longboneofberwick.co.uk

    thecottonmill.com

    thecurtainexchange.net (they sell second hand curtains, it's worth phoning your nearest branch and find out if they have curtains in the right size for you)

    (I must say having to work in both inches and cm is rather confusing and websites normally use one or the other, no consistency...)

    Hope this is useful, good search, I still haven't found what I'm looking for
    :confused:.

    I went for the plain lace panels from Ikea, took 6 panels to cover my large window but they look really good, they have had a lot of compliments, don't think that you would realise at all they were dirt cheap! I would definitely recommend them, no problems with the decorations or fraying.

    You can see a little of them poking above the sofa in this picture
